Let’s face it, some of us still get lost even when armed with map and compass. Never fear! All you need is a reliable GPS device: Magellan Triton 400 Handheld GPS, to be exact.

It’s the perfect companion for the enthusiastic traveler in you. It’s easy to carry around, wholly capable and very affordable as well. If you’re prone to wandering around the woods, this is simply the intelligent choice!

What makes the Magellan Triton 400 Handheld GPS great is that it’s accessible and convenient to use. Navigation is smooth and easy thanks to an intuitive interface and streamlined menus. Adding to that, its button and scroll pad controls reduce the need for multiple button presses just to get the info you want. A beautiful 2.2 inch LCD display enhances the total experience. All maps and navigation information comes out vivid and easy to see on the display panel—important if your eyes are going to be fixated on the device for long periods of time. And you’ll have a long time to use it–not just because it’s durable and waterproof, but because it lasts for up to ten hours on two AA batteries.

The Magellan Triton 400 Handheld GPS has a built-in Map of North America, which includes major highways, city streets and centers, relevant points of interest, bodies of water and more. Thanks to this device’s support for SD cards, not only can you save routes and tracks, you’ll also be able to store new maps. Not just any maps, either; this device is compatible with National Geographic maps (which are incredibly detailed, to say the least). Installing these new maps and managing them (as well as) other data is effortless, thanks to exclusive VantagePoint software. Now, you will be able to explore the United States (or anywhere you’ve got a map for) like never before.

The Magellan Triton 400 Handheld GPS performs its tasks very quickly, thanks to its SiRFstar III chipset. Being one of the latest, the SiRFstar III chipset is so powerful it can still receive signals under heavy tree growth or the presence of many high-rise buildings. Adding to that, a very sensitive antenna enables the device to pick up on signals immediately. This ability is augmented even more by Augmentation Reception Technology, which ensures that the positioning data you receive is as close to a hundred percent accurate as possible.

With all this and more, the Magellan Triton 400 Handheld GPS knows every nook and cranny in the city, so you’ll never run out of places to visit or just hang around. If you’re a constant traveler, you’ll like this unassuming yet undeniably useful handheld device!.
